biancam, it is not simple sentence and I am not sure your translation fits here, since it means "You always have been".
I'd rather translate it this way:
"Hic tu semper erat"
But let me ask another expert in Latin to be sure.
Efee, could you take your stand on the issue, please?

| | Uhm...but if you say "Hic tu semper erat" doesn't it translate to "You have always been here"?
Sorry if I'm asking a dumb question; I've just never seen "hic,haec,hoc" used like this  |

| | "hic" isn't an adverb "here" in this case, but it is just the pronoun "hic, haec, hoc" = this/it... I am not sure of the using. This is why I asked another expert's opinion. Let's wait for Efylove.  |

| | I think that Aneta's suggestion could go. "Hic" is a bit ambiguous, but it's a good way to preserve the meaning of the sentence. Maybe it's better to put "is, ea, id"...

| | Yes, "is, ea, id" seems to be good too. Thank you, dear colleague!
So
"Is tu semper erat" - masculine version
and
"Ea tu semper erat" - feminine version (to remarks field).
Do you agree, biancam?  |

| | Yup, I agree , it sounds a lot better than my version  |
